Our cabin, called the Resting Dragon, has 250 feet (75 meters) of beach front property, offering gorgeous views and complete privacy. Perfect for a relaxing vacation with all amenities available; full kitchen, living room, queen and sofa bed, large deck and WiFi.

Our cabin, is situated in Zancudo, on the Pacific coast of the southern tip of Costa Rica. It fits comfortably one couple upstairs and another person or child on a sofa bed downstairs. Mosquitos, not a problem. All the windows and doors have a mesh that keeps the mosquitos out of the house. There is also WiFi.
Our cabin is right on the beach, on a 1.5 acre lot facing westerly, with a sunset view over the Osa Peninsula. Many come to read in the hammocks overlooking the ocean, or walk for hours along the long empty beach that stretches 12 miles from the point of the Zancudo Peninsula, south to Pavones, home of the longest left breaking wave.
All our guests love this quiet and safe beach at our beachfront accommodation, and often want to extend their visit. Many others come for the plentiful water sports like kayaking and boogie boarding.
The cabin is only five minutes walk from the best restaurant on the beach and only 20 minutes from the supermarket. Vegetables and fruit are delivered to the cabin once a week and you can buy fresh fish at the port on every clear day.

This place is amazing. If you are looking for the end of civilization, this home in Zancudo is perfect. Zancudo is not easy to get to, but when you get there, you'll love pulling up to this house. You are between the jungle and one of the most amazing beaches we've ever seen, and we've seen a lot of good beaches. Barbara, the property manager, is there for you in a moment's notice to resolve any issues or answer any questions. Her level of attention and thoroughness of service was quite surprising, given the remoteness of the location. Big thanks to Barbara and Karla for one of the most memorable beach stays we've ever had!

If you are looking for a secluded beach town to chill in, you've found it. Truly unspoiled from the out side world. The beach was so remote that seeing other human beings startled us. We came 'before the rush' which the locals told us was January-Feb If you're renting a car, make it 4 wheel drive and travel in the day. Getting there is a pain but that's what makes it worth it. Barbara is very nice. The security may seem a little excessive but we saw a local snooping around while we were on the beach. Bring your DEET and an open mind. Simply amazing.

Quiet little town on the beach in the middle of nowhere. Seems to be a place where retired North Americans live. The road out to the place is shaky at best. Very bumpy gravel for the majority of the way out there. The house is about 50 yards from the beach. We rarely saw people on it. Inside the house is adequate. Nothing special with no a/c. Barbara (the property manager ) is helpful and lives nearby. Overall a great stay. We would definitely return.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time staying at Karla's place. The beach is beautiful and totally private, you can walk for miles and only see a handful of people. Barbara, the woman who manages the property, lives nearby and was very helpful. She provided us with a list of useful numbers and pointed out the local restaurants and market. I'd recommend getting the fishburger at Sol Y Mar, just a short walk down the beach. Zancudo is such a gem and definitely made for those who aren't looking for the resort or "happening" area -- which we were not. We loved the opportunity disconnect from the world, connect with nature (there's a lovely iguana that lives in a tree next to the house), swim in the calm-Caribbean-like waters just a three minute walk north, cook at home, drink coffee on the rocking chairs, and take countless sunset photos. Highly recommended!

Ocean view on 7 km most beautiful beach in CostaRica, a 50 metre walk through palm and almond trees from the front door. Airy and bright clean casita with well equipped kitchen, sitting room with futon double, and bedroom with double bed. Washing machine is available for your use and weekly housecleaning provided. Extra large screened terrace with dining set, 2 hammocks, grill. Reviews (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) #403765

This casita has kitchen, sitting room, bedroom, bathroom and large terrace for dining and relaxing. It is on a large property with tropical plants and the beach which is 7 km long and almost deserted most of the time. Swimming is excellent - warm and safe. (bioluminescence appears some nights)
Small grocery store and taxi across the street and several restaurants are within easy walking distance. The local bar/restaurant is a 10 minute walk on the beach and another great place to eat, drink, play cards and games is right across the street. An excellent Italian style restaurant is two doors north. Rentals for kayaks and stand up paddle boards, and various tours is 5 doors south.

Zancudo is a small community of about 300 Costa Ricans and about 100 expats, living along the one main road that has the ocean and sand beach on one side, and the river and estuaries on the other side. It is quiet, friendly and laid back. Everywhere you go, you will be greeted by "hola" or "pura vida". There are excellent restaurants, several beach bars, and many tours available: orchid garden, animal sanctuary, Osa peninsula, birdwatching, mangrove estuaries, and more.
Rentals are available for kayaks and stand up paddle boards.
If you are a surfer, there are places to rent boards and surf conditions good for beginning and intermediate surfers, and expert surfing in Pavones (an excursion from Zancudo - 40 minutes)

This house is RIGHT ON THE BEACH - just steps from the ocean. It is open and airy, allowing ocean breezes to refresh. Ideally located next to SolYMar in the central part of Playa Zancudo's five-mile beach, where the surf is gentle and safe for swimming and boogie boarding.

Very affordable beachfront accommodation

this part of the beach has construction right close to the ocean. We get fabulous breezes every day and there is no need for air conditioning. The surf is gentle and great for swimming - no riptides or huge waves at this area. You can walk 10 minutes south to access bigger waves for surfing.

Très bien situé - pas de la plage! Cute place / funky.

This 2-story cottage is just steps from the secluded black sand beach of Zancudo. Beautiful palms enhance the view of the water from the porch. Three bedrooms with three full baths provide comfortable sleeping for 8. Fully equipped kitchen. W/D

Our favorite feature is the upper porch where you can sit at the breakfast bar, in the leather rockers, or in the hammock with your morning coffee or evening cocktail. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms each with their own full bath, plus the kitchen and eating area. The downstairs apartment contains 2 full beds, a full bath, kitchenette, and dining table. There is a patio downstairs and an outdoor shower. Washer/dryer, hammocks, boogie boards, and 4 bicycles are provided. Ocean breezes and ceiling fans in every room keep you comfortable year-round.

Zancudo is a small village on the Golfo Dulce (sweet gulf) across from the OSA Peninsula. There are several excellent bar / restaurants such as Sol y Mar and Coloso. "Emilio" stops in front of the house twice a week with a truck selling fresh fruits and veggies. There are two stores that sell all basic necessities. Sport fishing is available at Zancudo lodge or Capt. Peter Pelion. There is a beach break in front of our house which offers excellent surfing. Local activities are swimming, sport fishing, surfing, SUP, kayaking, nature tours, botanical garden and zip line.

We loved our stay here. The house is very well equipped and the location is just great. Personally, my biggest problem during our stay was whether to go to the beach, or just stay having a drink and enjoying the awesome view from the balcony. If you want to get off the beaten path in Costa Rica and just unplug for a few days, I think this is a great spot :) Ticos: Esta casa está súper bien equipada, la ubicación está genial, y de veras se la pasa uno muy bien. Fuimos en Semana Santa y casi ni parecía, estábamos bastante aislados y no había mucha gente cerca. Si lo que quiere es irse y retirarse del mundo para relajarse, la verdad es que vale la pena el viaje (que es lejos desde la GAM, pero de veras lo vale).

Great beach break for who likes to surf without crowd. depending on the tide for beginners to intermediate surfers. Like a long left pointbreak: Pilon is 15 minutes drive. Pavones 30 minutes drive with one of the longest lefts in the world.

We spent four great days in Christine and Mike's house. They are very helpful and sympathetic. The house is great, with several areas that make it very pleasant to live, with the sound of birds and sea nearby. A wild and beautiful beach is at the end of the garden. We loved our stay there.

Valérie2017-02-02T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay in Zancudo! My husband and I spent 7 nights for our honeymoon at Mike and Christine's Beach house. We were very happy with the privacy, all things included, quality, cleanliness and communications with Mike and Christine and of course....waking up to the sounds of the jungle just steps away from the beach! We would most definitely go again!

Sarah2016-09-03T00:00:00Z

Mike and Tine (Christine) were wonderful hosts! They even gave us some fruit as a welcome gift. The pictures represented the house and the property well. As hosts they were knowledgable and answered all our questions about Zancudo and Costa Rica. They offered us plenty of privacy, but we immediately hit it off with them and connected with their warm and open personalities. Before we left, we shared a lovely evening enjoying a local meal and a couple of drinks on the beach watching the sun go down. The house was perfect. It was simple (in a good way) and beautifully designed and crafted. Everything was spotless, neat and organized when we arrived. You can fall asleep to the sound of the waves and wake up to the birds and the wildlife. We saw a sloth, geckos, an iguana, and monkeys all from the garden view seating area. Zancudo was just hard enough to get to that tourists don't over run the place. The black sand beaches were abandoned. The water was a magical 80 degrees (F) with good waves for surfing. The weather, the coffee, the food, and the people were all wonderful. We would definitely return.

This is a gorgeous and peaceful place to stay. My fiancé and I came for a weekend getaway and Margaret's lovely beach house was perfect. The room has a wonderfully comfortable king size bed, an excellent fan, and is very spacious and clean. She served us a delicious breakfast out on her patio, which was covered with beautiful cultivated plants and herbs. The house is only a few steps from an incredibly beautiful, remote beach - we were the only people out there! Zancudo is truly a hidden gem - turquoise waters, black sand, and lush palm trees make this a very romantic place, and also great for beginner surfers or open water swims. The house is a five minute walk from a few nice restaurants and a mini market. Margaret was incredibly nice and accommodating! I would highly recommend visiting zancudo and staying here.

we absolutely loved our stay here! we didn't know better and didn't leave ourselves enough time, definitely go for more than one night. there's so much wildlife to see and you're just across from the beach. lovely views, and margaret was so helpful in getting us directions to get there and helping us arrange our plans for the following days. plus moby is the sweetest rottweiler ever : )

Margaret was an excellent host. She went out of her way to assist me in having the best experience of the area. My room and the house was very quaint. I mostly enjoyed nature´s sounds and all the creatures in the area. Playa Zancundo is a magical natural wonder surrounded by lush jungle and the impressive pacific ocean bathing the shores.

Margaret is incredibly friendly and helpful with any information about the area and/or anything you might need during your stay. She also has a charming dog!

This place is perfect every single person looking for some "space".. to think, meditate, fall in love, read, feel the rain and the sun, smell the ground and the flowers, get connected to the nature.. it is perfect for evryone who wants to spend some quality time with family and friends doing yoga, hiking, horse riding, snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking...

The property is surrounded by few very large properties.. so, there is not a neighborhood arround, no streets, no shopping centers, no night clubs... the jungle is our backyard and the ocean is our porch.

Catalina was great, very welcoming and helpful and discrete as well. The house was terrific and the views quite unique. The neighbourhood is a bit far from the town but taxis aren't expensive. There is a minimart 200 m away from the house. The private rooms are nice, simple and clean. It had a well functioning fan and a terrific view. Catalina has a list of things to do around golfito if you are looking for things to do.

The town of Golfito was such a splendor, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. I would recommend to everyone I know. I am an avid football player and we had the opportunity to play in the town with the locals. Banana Bay Marina is an excellent restaurant that Catalina recommended. A must stay in Costa Rica.

Paz Bella is situated on Costa Rica's stunning southern Pacific coast in Puntarenas Province near the mouth of Golfo Dulce.
Surrounded by private black sand beach and lush vertical jungle, Paz Bella is accessible by a short boat ride.
Relax in the chill pool at 72 degrees, filled by one of the cascading waterfalls on the property. Paz Bella is constructed in the Tico style that circulates cool air in the jungle habitat. There are large windows in every room for stunning ocean views.
Formerly a fishing lodge, there is a long dock with pier house to cast a line, jump in or watch for whales. (August-September)
The rooms can be configured to suit your needs. Three single beds, a single and a king or two twin beds in a room. Bathroom with a walk in shower. Sorry, there is no television in the rooms in paradise. We run on solar with generator back up and we conserve as much as possible. The tide changes every six hours and cleans the beach right up to the sea wall so the beach is ever changing in its widths. Perfect temperature for swimming.

Accessible only by boat , this special beachfront lodge is at the foot of the jungle in Piedra Blancas National Park, Puntarenas Golfito. Gulfo Dulce opens directly to the Pacific Ocean . There is an abundance of sea like here and the humpback whales choose this gulf for the " nursery" to have their offspring parts of the year. We have a wonderful botanical garden nearby that is a showcase of the diversity found on the Osa Pennisula.

Unfortunately I did not get a chance to meet Katie, but Tim weclomed us and gave us the whole run down including suggestions of restaurants, hikes, and where to go on hte kayaks. Our stay was short so we weren't able to fit in a kayak cruise, but the availability was cool. Katie was very responsive via email and helpful. The neighborhood was central and easy to get around. The place itself was very cute and I'd go back. It was a perfect escape for my girlfriends and I.

This unique area is for Nature Lovers! Monkeys galore and one of the best beaches in Costa Rica!
This much loved home is located across the street from Zancudo Beach, a 5 kilometer long sandy beach peninsula. Good for surfing, swimming, fishing and beach combing.
This 2 bedroom home is tucked away off the main road but still only a 3 minute walk to the beach. Great waves, beach-combing, monkey and sloth (email hidden)us many types of butterflies and birds. Restaurants and market are within a 5 minute walk.
The house comes with high speed Internet and ceiling fans and AC throughout. There is also Satellite TV. A private, mango tree lined driveway takes you to this magical abode.
Zancudo Beach is a small town and off the beaten path. No high rises here. Lots of restaurants and bars and grocery stores. Wildlife abounds with monkeys and birds and more.
The population is a mix of Ticos, Gringos and Europeans.
Nearby is the famous Osa Peninsula and Pavones surf break.
Zancudo is well known as a world class fishing port.

You can walk to the beach, the store and several restaurants within a 5 minute walk!

I can't really explain why, but our stay at the Jungle Beach House in Zancudo was magical. My husband and I stayed for a month and everyday was special. We would begin each day watching the morning butterfly show as we enjoyed our coffee on the front porch. Each day, at low tide, we walked on what felt like a 5 mile long private beach. In the afternoon, once again comfortably seated on the front porch, we would listen to the waves and wait for the monkeys to join us. Mozart, the friendly local Toucan even came for a visit one day. The house was comfortable and VERY private. The WIFI was great, the TV even showed old movies in English with subtitles. The kitchen was well supplied and we ate many delicious meals at home. The blender was my favorite thing as I enjoyed a daily fruit smoothie for lunch made with delicious fresh local fruit. Margaret was wonderful and told us about all the local treasures - Ellie who baked wonderful bagels, bread and amazing cinnamon buns, Emilio, the fruit and vegetable man who came twice a week, the egg man and the many local eateries. We particularly enjoyed the Walnut Chicken at Restaurant Tranquillo just up the road. Everyone we met was friendly, relaxed and enjoying life. Even after a month it was hard to leave and we are already planning our next visit.

Margaret was friendly and welcoming on our arrival, giving us all the information we needed on buying groceries, organizing a fishing trip and buying bread from Ellie. She also took us to meet the extremely colorful local community and on a grocery shopping trip to Paso Canoas, both of which we really appreciated. On a positive note, this corner of Costa Rica is very special and very wild. We felt really thrilled to see three species of monkey in the garden, a sloth on the road to the shop, and also see dolphins, leaping rays, green turtles and flying fish on a boat trip. While the area itself is stunning, the wet season brings its own challenges. The community´s name, Playa Zancudo - Mosquito Beach - is apt. It was difficult to enjoy the porch and the lush garden around the house as the mosquitoes were ferocious. There were also some issues with the rental. As noted in a previous review, Margaret cautioned that we could only use the A/C sparingly or expect to pay an additional charge - a point that was not mentioned in the agreement and came as an unwelcome surprise. The house itself is very dark, to the point that we had the lights on in the day in the living room and kitchen. In general, it felt gloomy and somewhat run down. The coffee maker was broken, the TV had three remotes - none of which we could get to work - while the couch is small and uncomfortable. The linens, the sheets and the towels were almost all old and some were worn out or stained. We booked for a month, but left after three weeks. While we did not expect a refund for the last week, we were surprised that Margaret had immediately re-let the house. She then placed some pressure on us to leave early in the morning so that she could get the house cleaned for the next occupants. It was an awkward end to the trip.
